The Kitchen Garden at Monticello

The vegetable garden... " I have lived temperately, eating little animal food, and that ... as a condiment for the vegetables, which constitute my principle diet." - Jefferson to Vine Utley, 1819. image and quote from the The Gardens of Monticello by Peter J. Hatch.

Getting a private tour of Monticello during the height of summer is my ultimate garden fantasy. Thanks for the photo and I love the quote! It fits me perfectly. My husband is a vegetarian, so we mainly eat from our garden and never cook meat at home.

That garden is a little bit of heaven, and the garden "gazebo" is WOW.

I've always had a fantasy of having a kitchen garden like this, with a handsome cook to tend it of course...
